Fantasy Draft With MLB

Klew1986 · 05-26-2015, 03:27 PM

Is there a way to do a fantasy draft with MLB players that doesn't include upcoming draftees. I tried and noticed that it takes all players (including first year draft players and puts them in the player pool too.

i noticed that, too. i usually cancel the 'year 1' amateur draft due to that reason. otherwise you are getting 2x the influx of young talent for that year.

the only workaround i can think of is using a free agent draft after releasing all (select all in 'list all mlb players' page). you'd have to do that for all the minor leagues, too. also, you'd probably want to reset moral of players after mass releasing them.

possibly:
export league structure, delete all the teams, restore league structure, then create a free agent draft. i'm not sure if league structure includes rosters or not. if so, this won't work.

Create a fictional league alongside maybe and move everyone there? Never tested this specifically but it's got at least a puncher's chance of working.

Yeah. Or I could just go my traditional fictional league route, but never am happy with them. lol

Resisting this. Is there a way to do a fantasy draft without first-year players as part of the draft?
